Made from UV-stabilised polyethylene, the fine mesh acts as a physical barrier, preventing butterflies from laying eggs on crops such as cabbages, broccoli and other brassicas, without the use of chemicals. It allows light, air and rain to pass through, creating a healthy growing environment while keeping pests out. Lightweight and flexible, the netting is easy to handle and can be cut to fit any area without fraying. Drape directly over crops, raised beds or frames and secure with pegs or garden weights for effective coverage. Suitable for both domestic gardens and allotments, this netting is ideal for use throughout the growing season. It’s also reusable, rot-proof and weather-resistant, making it a practical solution for year-after-year crop protection. Whether you're an experienced grower or new to gardening, this butterfly netting helps ensure your plants develop without damage from hungry caterpillars and other insects. When not in use, it can be easily folded and stored for future seasons. A must-have for anyone serious about growing healthy, chemical-free produce.

FAQs
What types of pests does this netting protect against?
It provides a physical barrier primarily against butterflies and their larvae (caterpillars), but also deters other flying insects and some larger pests.
Can I use this netting on all types of plants?
Yes, it is suitable for most vegetables and plants, especially brassicas, legumes, leafy greens, and fruit bushes, protecting them from egg-laying insects.
How do I attach the netting to the ground?
You can use garden pegs (like U-shaped pegs), heavy stones, bricks, or by carefully tucking the edges into the soil to create a seal.
Is the netting safe for organic gardening?
Yes, as it is a chemical-free physical barrier, it is entirely suitable for organic and eco-friendly gardening practices.
How long will the netting last?
Made from UV-stabilised polyethylene, it is designed to be rot-proof and weather-resistant, making it reusable for multiple growing seasons when cared for properly.
Can I cut the netting to size?
Yes, the netting can be easily cut to fit any area without fraying, allowing for customisation to your specific needs.
Does the netting affect water or air circulation?
No, the fine mesh is designed to allow light, air, and rain to pass through, ensuring plants receive essential resources while remaining protected.
Troubleshooting
Pests are still found under the netting.
Ensure the netting edges are securely fastened to the ground with pegs, weights, or by burying them slightly to prevent entry.
Netting is not draping well over plants.
Consider using garden hoops or a simple frame to support the netting, keeping it elevated from the plants for better air circulation and coverage.
Netting appears to be blocking too much light.
While designed to be permeable, ensure the mesh isn't overly compacted. If using on very delicate seedlings, monitor plant growth and consider lifting slightly if needed.
